Can we get a home and home with UofM?
Incredible performance by Ohio U!!! DJ Cooper is amazing. Huge win for the MAC.
Ha Ha, Michigan lost their last 2 games to Ohio!
UofM would never do a home and home with us. They never do anything to help EMU. They are sucky neighbors.
Bob, would EMU ever do a home-and-home for Rochester or Concordia? They certainly have shown a willingness to play these teams so why not play at their place?
There is no benefit for UM to go to EMU. None. Criticizing them for doing something that can only hurt them is not a legitimate complaint in my opinion. You ought not expect of UM what EMU themselves would not do.
Even if it were a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1, I would be happy. It makes ZERO sense why Michigan doesn't schedule us in hoops every year.
Your example of Rochester and Concordia has no validity, since they are both lower division schools. We are both D1 schools and are 7 miles apart from each other. Hell, even Michigan State, a superior basketball program, did a 3-for-1 with us. It's not like we're playing in a glorified high school gym like some D1 schools have...the convo is a very good venue.
I'm not saying Michigan "owes us anything", but it wouldn't kill them to do a deal like that with EMU. If they can do a true road game at Oakland (one of only 3 true OOC road games...no wonder their record was so inflated), they can drive down Washtenaw and play here once every 3 years.
